Neville Brothers To Join Travelling Circus

BROTHERS Gary and Phil Neville have shocked the footballing world by joining a travelling circus.

The former Manchester United duo had hoped to become a TV presenting team, in the guise of Ant and Dec or Morecambe and Wise. Unfortunately, they were told that no network or production company in the English speaking world wanted them.

But, older brother Gary insists that they are looking forward to their new lives travelling to backwater towns for very little money.

He said: “It was always in my mind to leave Sky and join a really rubbish circus once Phil finished this season.

“Even when we were winning trophies with United, we used to look at old vaudeville shows from the 1890s, and think ‘that could be us one day’.

Asked what tricks that he and his brother will be performing, he said: “It’s a simple Q&A with me and Phil, except we are totally nude.”

This bizarre career change has prompted suggestions that the brothers should be detained under the mental health act.

However, the two families of the brothers were unavailable to comment, because they never existed in the first place.

A source close to the Neville, revealed that the brothers are Walter Mitty style fantasists who enjoy public displays of nudity.

“Over the years, Gary and Phil were always coming up with these crazy ideas, that all involved being naked.

“Phil wanted to be a nudist TV chef , but then Jamie Oliver came along and burst his bubble.

“As for Gary, well apparently he turned up at SKY on his first day, armed with only an iPad and his birthday suit.”
